Causas y azares [English translation]

When Pedro went out to his window

He didn't know, my love, he didn't know

that the light of that clear morning

was the light of his last day.

And the causes were surrounding him,

everyday, invisible.

And chance was getting tangled up,

powerful, invincible.

When Juan returned to his bed

He didn't know, oh, dear soul,

that in the rainy night and without a roof

the love of his life awaited him.

And the causes were surrounding him,

everyday, invisible.

And chance was getting tangled up,

powerful, invincible.

When this verse that I sing is finished.

I don't know, I don't know, mother mine,

if peace or terror awaits me,

if the the present, or the yet to come.

Well, the causes are surrounding me,

everyday, invisible.

And chance is entangling me

powerful, invincible.
